I am lucky to have a great husband, as I know it is hard on him, too. So far, we have made two attempts to go somewhere this year but wound up canceling. It is going to take a long time for us to feel it is safe to leave and be gone for more than a day. Last month was our 50th anniversary, but we could not plan anything. We live near the Columbia River Gorge, so we hopped in the car and spent a few hours in the nice community of Hood River. Currently, our middle child's wife is expecting a baby any day now, so we are on grandparent alert for that. They have two little ones, and we will have to rush to their home, which is about 40 minutes away, to take care of their kids. It's nice to be needed, but it is exhausting at times.
